Got your attention.
There is anecdotal information that suggests that cold weather and/or barometric pressure (dampness) may trigger aches and pains.
I noticed that weather(dot)com even has a weather related pain index...
Aches & Pains- weather.com
My wife from time to time suffers for mild to medium pains (on again...off again). She does not have severe dibilitating pain thank goodness. But sometimes she is fairly distressed by it. I will also add that my wife seems to have a low threshold to pain (compared to me) and she does tend to fret about it a lot. But it is real!
She has been to multiple doctors (real MD specialists) and out of desperation a few quacks over the last 15 years. The last 5 years it has become a little more frequent. I won't give a rundown on the history, it would take too much.
One Doctor (a real MD not the quack) said... you are likely experiencing age related aches and pains... possibly exacerbated by cold weather/barometic pressure. He also said there was only anecdotal information about weather triggering episodes of aches and pain (no definitive legitimate medical studies).
I thought I would put it to the group in Florida... For those of you that experience body aches and pains, that get out of the cold North to Florida (late fall and winter), did you notice any change? What has been your experience.
If any of you have lived in Arizona or similar warm/arid locations... please comment on that too.
